Where's the National Guard in New Orleans?

Many are asking where's the National Guard in New Orleans?

ANSWER: They're in Iraq that's where.

Howard Fineman at Newsweek asks:

"Can America marshal the resources to fight battles in Iraq and rebuild the Gulf Coast? A political storm is brewing."

You can't fight a war on two fronts. Especially when it's on your own turf.

"For years the Pentagon’s standing readiness plans required the country to be able to fight two major wars simultaneously. But no one anticipated what we face now: a war in Mesopotamia and another along the Mississippi."

Hard choices are going to have to be made - and SOON.
